Ex-Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf rips into his old side for playing 'too nice' during defeat by Everton and insists there was no 'English fighting spirit' in Frank Lampard's young side... as he urges them to get 'dirty' to find a way to win

Former Chelsea defender Frank LeBoeuf has torn into his old club by claiming they were 'too nice' in their defeat by Everton.

A Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty - which came after Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy wiped out Dominic Calvert-Lewin after he had held off Thiago Silva - saw Frank Lampard's side suffer just their second Premier League defeat of the season.

The result saw the Stamford Bridge outfit - who struggled to create many chances at Goodison Park - slip to fifth in the table and three points behind leaders Tottenham ahead of the trip to Wolves on Tuesday.
